Red Wine Spaghetti With Broccoli Rabe Recipes

RED WINE SPAGHETTI WITH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• For the sauce: Combine the tomatoes, onions, garlic and bay leaf in large Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, partially covered, until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has slightly thickened, 30 to 45 minutes. (If needed, cook uncovered for another 10 minutes until thickened to desired consistency.) Remove the bay leaf and pulse the sauce with an immersion blender until slightly smooth but still rough. Add the butter and half of the parsley and season to taste. Keep warm over medium heat until the meatballs are ready.
• For the meatballs: While the sauce is simmering, start on the meatballs. In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Combine the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, sage and 1/2 cup of the milk in a small bowl and set aside to allow the dried herbs to reconstitute, about 5 minutes. This will soften the spices and release their flavors.
• Transfer the sauteed onions and milk mixture to a large bowl. Add the ground beef, couscous, grated Parmesan, ricotta, eggs, garlic and 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Combine with your hands, making sure not to overmix. If the mixture looks too dry, add the remaining 1/4 cup milk. Using a 1 1/2-ounce-portion scoop or a scant 1/4 cup, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. The mixture should yield 30 meatballs.
• Bake the meatballs until firm on the outside but slightly undercooked in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the meatballs to the blended sauce and cook until cooked through, 10 minutes.
• For the pasta: In a large high-sided saute pan, bring 5 cups water, 3 cups of wine, and some salt to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes, pressing the pasta down as it cooks to make sure it is fully submerged in the liquid.
• Strain the cooked pasta and return it to the pan along with any remaining wine (there should only be a little bit, less than 1/4 cup) and 1 cup of the sauce. Toss to combine. Serve immediately, topped with more sauce and the meatballs. Garnish with the remaining parsley and shaved Parmesan.

FUSILLI WITH RAPINI (BROCCOLI RABE), GARLIC, AND TOMATO WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the broccoli rabe, sprinkle in some salt, and bring the salted water to a boil. Stir in the broccoli rabe, and cook until bright green and just starting to become tender, about 2 minutes; drain the rabe, and cool in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Fill a pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the fusilli, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook and stir the 2 roughly-chopped garlic cloves until they start to turn translucent, about 2 minutes; sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir in rosemary sprig, dried Italian herb mix, and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Stir in the blanched rabe, white wine, and tomatoes; remove rosemary sprig, and bring the mixture to a boil. Mix in the cooked fusilli pasta, green onions, and 1 minced clove of garlic; simmer for 1 more minute, and serve topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

PASTA WITH BROCCOLI RABE (CIMA DI RAPA)

Steps:

• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add anchovies and garlic. Saute until slightly brown, 3 to 4 minutes, but do not overcook garlic, as this will make the dish bitter. Add broccoli rabe and stir to coat. Alternately add 1/2 of the bread crumbs and 1/2 of the Pecorino Siciliano cheese, stirring constantly, adding 1/2 tablespoon oil while mixing.
• Drain pasta and fold into the mixture, taking care not to break the pasta. Fold in remaining cheese and bread crumbs gently. Top with remaining oil. Transfer to serving plates and sprinkle with red pepper.

RED WINE PASTA, BROCCOLI RABE & GRILLED HERB CHICKEN

Steps:

• Chicken -- mix the marinade in the baggie and add the chicken and just let it go all day. That's it.
• In a large sauce pan we have 2 cooking steps. We first need to cook the chicken and then need to cook the vegetables.
• First the chicken - In a medium sauce pan on medium high heat, add the chicken and sear 4-5 minutes on the first side until golden brown. You want a good sear. Then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove and cover to let it rest while you make the pasta and cook the vegetables.
• Pasta -- In a large pot cook the pasta according to directions. I like to use thin spaghetti, but spaghetti or vermicelli will work just fine for this. Just follow the directions on the box. Once finished, drain the pasta. In that same pot add the oil, red pepper flakes, sugar and heat up for just for a minute on medium. Then add the wine and cook for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat so it reduces slightly. Then add the drained pasta back inches Finish with salt and pepper to taste.
• Vegetables -- While the pasta cooks, in that same pan in the drippings from the chicken, add the onion and cook 2-3 minutes and then the broccoli rabe and cook until tender and soft. Four (4)-5 minutes is all it takes. It goes pretty quick and don't over cook the broccoli, you want it tender and will continue to cook once added into the warm pasta.
• Now -- 1) Dinner. Thin slice the chicken breasts; 2) Add the vegetables to the pasta and toss well; 3) Plate the pasta and top with slices of chicken; 4) Garnish with fresh romano (you can use parmesan if you want). ENJOY!
